Revelation – Archival Phono Preamplifiers

Old & New Record EQ—Made Easy!

The Revelations will make it easy for you to archive older records.

As well as being a stereo RIAA preamp there are settings for other types of record, so rather than guessing the tonal balance, the Revelations have all the EQ settings you should need arranged on a three switch front-panel matrix.

Each one is supplied with an Old Record EQ information sheet, and more information on old record EQ can be found here.

There’s a model for high output cartridges – the Revelation M; and a model for low output moving coil – the Revelation C.

The Revelation M is available with either the basic (“green energy”) power supply or the PSU1 power supply for improved sonics. The Revelation C is supplied with the PSU1 power supply only. Both models are fitted as standard with a rear panel mono-switch.

Revelation M

The Revelation M stereo RIAA stage is for high output cartridges of the moving magnet, high output moving coil and high output moving iron varieties.

Based on the Reflex M hi-fi RIAA preamp, it is optimised for these high output cartridges – its input stage having more than adequate dynamic headroom to be able to accept the largest signal peaks.

By “dynamic” we mean it can handle peaks without slew-induced distortion, and transients whether musical or due to surface imperfections, do not get “slew-distorted”. This is an important factor which means archival copies will retain more of the original detail with fewer distortion artifacts.

Revelation C

Power Supplies

For best results we recommend you choose the PSU1 power supply option for the Revelation M. It is otherwise available with the basic power supply which is low-energy and is suitable where equipment has to comply with low-carbon targets. The Revelation C is only supplied with the PSU1.
